Scopes and what users see

A scope is a permission your app asks for. Users see the list on the consent page and approve or deny it.

Planned scopes

• profile: the user's name and account ID.
• email: the user's email address.

Best practices

• Ask for the minimum you need. Users trust apps that ask for less.
• Explain why you need each permission in your own UI.
• Use the account ID, not the email, as your stable user identifier.
